We have three Kubota's ..
2005 RTV 900 Diesel ... pretty much trouble free except for u joints which were fixed under warranty.
2012 RTV 1120 Diesel... mine.. POS (I think it's a '12, it's the first year mfg and tons of 'in the office engineers design' issues).
2014 RTV 1120 Diesel, wifes upgrade from 900 and it works great as Kubota made some good improvements on those poorly designed items from the '12 1120.

They are certainly not speed racers but do what's needed on our place (200ac). There are times when I'd like to blast away to the back but can't justify a petrol rig for just a couple times a year. Had caretakers that would use up the petrol in their cars so that's why we just switched to Diesel side by sides.
